Germany, Rap, and Rroma

Published by:

A review of the last Album from the German Rapper Sido. He recently acknowledged that he is Rrom – but calles himself “Zigeuner” and a sentence in one of his songs “Meine Leute haben’s nicht so leicht, also wenn du nicht drauf aufpasst, ist es meins.” saying “my people don’t have it easy, so if you don’t pay attention to it, it is mine” is deemed more than controversial, as it uses the old stereotype of theft and Rroma.

Czech Republic: Germany Will Pay

Published by:

Germany has agreed to compensate the Czech Rroma who survived the Holocaust. Good, but it will not ruin Germany: 71 years after the end of the War, not many are still alive. And anyhow not many survived in the Czech lands.
A short apology from the Czech would be nice, as they deported the Rroma themselves, in 1941.

No Safe Countries for Rroma

Published by:

A long article on the so-called “safe countries” and their impact on Rroma seeking asylum in Germany and in neighbouring countries. There is a petition on this topic launched by a German Rroma organisation called Bundes Roma Verband e.V.
SUPPORT!
